Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-03-30

THE River and Harbor bill which SC
many of our Republican contemporaries
are cursing President Cleveland for
"pocket" vetoing, is the most putrid
echo of National legislation. In one
shape or another this rotten and scarcely
disguised steal has made its appearance
in Congress for nearly century. Its
corrupt carcass has finally been buried
beyond hope of resurrection by a Demo-
cratic President.

The country listens in vain for the

which was to be the walking accompani-
ment of Senator Sherman's Presidential
tour through the Southern States. The
Senator has evidently built too largely on
the reputation the South has lately estab-
lished in the earthquake business.

: GOuld's Generosity.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The Mount
Vernon estate, where the remains of
Washington lie entombed, has been en-
larged by the addition of q tract of 33k
acres on the northern side of the old
Washington mansion. 1t was secured
through the generosity of Jay Gould.
While on his way up the Potomac from
Fortress Monroe recently in his yacht, Mr..
Gould stopped at Mount Vernon, and was
shown around the grounds He expressed
great interest in the place and the admira-
bic manner in which is cared for. In the
course of conversation the Superintendent
remarked that the tract in question was
much needed to protect the property from
encroachment. Mr. Gould Immediately
authorized the purchase of the land at his
expense, and it has been bought and turn
ed over to the Mount Vernon regents.

The first game of the series between the

terday attracted over one thousand specta-
tors, who assembled only to see a crushing
defeat administered .allopathieslly, not
withstanding the fact that the new men,
with one exception, showed ND in good
form and played strong ball. Clark made
his first appearance in the box and was
pounded so hard that he retired in the
fourth in favor of Mallory who did good
work. The 'Ganders, however, had such
a long lead that it was impossible to head

Stentzel, the new catcher, played a fine

THE SCALE QUESTION.
THE HBANALGAMATBD ASSOCIATIONS SCALE
FOR THE ENSUING YEAR
Now in the Hands Of a Committee Representing TIKI
Manufacturers Proceedings Of the Pittsburg
Convention Yesterday Strength
en- the Association.

PITrsBURG, June 2O.-The committee
Of the Manufacturers Association ap.
pointed TO confer with the committee from
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers held a preparatory meeting
this morning at their rooms in the Rem
shaw building.
The Conference Committee as finally
completed, is as follows: A. F. Keating,
b. F. Jones, c. l.. Fitzhugh, A. E. w.
Painter, Geo. F. McCleane, James w.
Bailey, James X. Werner, Samuel T..
Owens, James II. Lindsay, ID. b. Oliver,
George ChalEnt, John MOOrhead, Mr..
Crossman, and W. C. Cronmeyer form the
Pittsburg district; H. O. Bennett and
James Nelson from tue Mahoning Val
ley; J. G. Boyer and Charles J. Trouter
from Cincinnati; w. II. Tallman and N.
f. Whitaker from Wheeling.
The members of the committee were
rather chary about making public what
stand they proposed to take on the wage
question. Mr.. B. F. Jones was of this
number, but said, as he cast a sidelOpg
glance at the scale which he held in his
hand: ''It is perfectly absurd for the
Amalgamated Association TO ask for this
scale"
The committee got down to work at II
o'clock this morning and adjourned at l
o'clock this afternoon. IThey reviewed the
different parts of the scale and decided
upon definite line of policy. 1t was
learned after the adjournment of the COM
mittee that it had been decided to take q
firm stand not to grant the 10 per cent
advance in wages, not even to the pud-
dlers. With this understanding the COM
mittee will meet the Conference Com
mittee OF the Amalgamated Association at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
THE AMALGANIATED MEETING.
The Amalgamated Associations session
this morning was one of the most impor-
tant vet held The committees on the re-
ports of the President and other officers
made their reports. The committee on the
constitution then submitted its report,
which was discussed in its minutest de-
tails. The recommendations show that
the Association is determined to strengthen
its ranks so as to rest on such firm foun-
datiOn that they will have no further fear
of cncroachments from the Knights of La
Dor. The recommendations are that nearly
everybody employed at q mill shall be ta-
ken in as members of the Amalgamated
Association, which will swell its ranks by
several thousand. 1t is quite likely that
the recommendation will be adopted
The proposition in reference to prohibit
ing members of the Knights of Labor from
joining the Association, was amended so as
to read "On and after April 1st, 1885, no
member of this Association can become o
member of the X. of L" 4 recOmmenda-
tiOn that the mills be shut down for two
weekS-during the summer, tailea to pass.
With those amendments and changes, the
report, after lengthy discussion, was
adopted. The Convention then adjourned.

Tony Comes Home AGAIN.

CNCINNATI, June 2O.-Tony Mullane
has been reiustated by the Cincinnati club.
Tue directors were averse to making this
move, hut Serad's poor work and the gen
eral hard luck of the team compelled some
movement. They have tried to get n
pitcher in every way but failed. The news
locally was q surprise, rs it was thought
the directors would never hack down. They
DO not seem to be alarmed at the declara-
tiOnS made by Won der Abe, Kelly and
Williams, at Pittsburg on Saturday, that
they would not play with the Cincinnati
team if Mullane was in the box. The
great pitcher, they say, was never formally
expelled but was only suspended. The
black list, is is true, was held over his
head but il was never applied, and the
matter, therefore, never came under the
jurisdiction of President WikOh. 1t Is
said that Williams denies ever making the
assertion. but the Others in question do
not, and result isanXiOusly awaited.

Special telegram 10 the RrglSicr.
WASHINGTON, PA, June 2O.-The class
day exercises of the class of 80 of w. and
]. College took place in the Opera House
this afternoon at 80
The exercises of this day are generally
considered more interesting than any OF
the Commencement exercises and the
crowd that began to gather around the
Opera House before the doors were opened
was by no means small and by one o'clock
the house was comfortably filled, and by
the time of beginning it was packed and
many could be found in the halls leading
to the door.
The music for this and the other COM
mencement exercises WAS furnished by
Prof. J. c. ArnOld's orchestra. The music
this year was by far the finest that We have
ever had here, either for commencement or
at the annual contest in March, and Prof
Arnold deserves the highest praise for his
untiring effort to make the music Of this
year success. He gives a vocal and in
strumental concert at the Opera House
tomorrow afternoon, for which an elab-
crate programme has been prepared.
The address u the PhilO and Union and
the Franklin and Washington literary
societies was delivered in the Opera House
at 7:3O this evening. The house was well
filled. After the address the President OF
the College held a reception at the College,
which from until II o'clock was filled
with crowds of people. The President and
his wife stood at the left hand side OF the
Chapel and shook hands with hundreds OF
people who passed by. The orchestra was
stationed in the rotunda on the first floor
and played waltz after waltz, while many
made good the opportunity by dancing on
the second floor.

ERIE, Pa, June 20.-William Barnes,
an Englishman of three years residence in
America, committed suicide last night by
hanging himself to the limb of tree in
the grounds of n hotel where he was
boarding in the western outskirts of this
city. The rope was so long that his feet
touched the ground. 4 lady boarder at
the hotel and an acquaintance of Barnes,
walking in the grounds, saw him standing
apparently under the tree. She approach,
ed, spoke to him and placed her hand on
his shoulder. Moved by her touch the
body swung around and the distorted face
of the dead man confronted her.
